Fresh food. Service is a little shaky but only because everyone loves it so much. But they are friendly will help you politely and kindly. The food looks great before you even taste it πŸ˜‹

I would like to give a big thank u to Rory at this branch. We had an issue with a cake and he went out of his way to make right. He is a true customer service agent in that business. Well done...

This restaurant has a great selection of food, pastries and ice cream to choose from. In summer, I love stopping by the ice cream counter and indulge with a taster and a scoop or two served in a sugar cone. Their confectionery selection is outstanding too, with Greek biscuits, biscotti, brownies and more.

Their products are to die for.If youre around the area do check in for some freshly baked products. I personally recommend their croissants with chocolate

Place an order telephonically for collection next morning. My wife spoke to one of or perhaps the only male manager and confirmed collection would be after 8:30am so there would be ample time to get it ready.Get here to collect (10 April 2021, 09:15am) and the order is not even on their list. Worse still, some items are not even available so it would take an hour for the platter to be readyπŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ.Fournos in general has lost my interest. Any events will be catered for elsewhere. This delay has negatively impacted on a brand I am promoting today.Thank you to Catherine for making an effort and going the extra mile to fix the situation. She deserves better management.

A wide variety of cakes and ice cream flavours available here. Staff here is friendly. Price of all items is a bit on the higher side, but its worth it. All items are fresh and are made to perfection..The only con is that the cafe closes early on weekdays..

Have been buying Fournos products for years and they have never disappointed until recently. Purchased the chocolate mousse cake which had such a dry cake part it was almost the texture of a rusk. The mousse part was good. Such a shame as this was one of my favourites. This used to be one of the best chocolate cakes around town - please lets try get it back there.

We went for brunch and ordered eggs Benedict with spinach and feta.After about 40 minutes we got our food without the feta in the spinach and the meals were already cold. The waiter then bought the feta separately after we asked why it wasnt mixed in the spinach. The plates didnt seem appealing at all, as there was no garnish to spruce it up.My daughter ordered penne Napoletana which were not even cooked, and this plate came 5 minutes after our meals, so who knows why the pasta had not been cooked in almost an hour by then, or had they forgotten this order? We then had to send it back. Again it came back with very little sauce and no basil or any garnish to make it look appealing, but at least it was cooked.I also noticed that the menus seemed quite grubby and there was no sanitiser on the table or nearby.We havent been to this branch for quite a while and were really disappointed at the quality of the food.

Its okay.Quick lunch I just grab a cappuccino and a toasted ham, cheese and tomato.The coffee was okay. Really nothing special about it. Luckily it wasnt burnt or over extracted.They made a mistake with my sandwich as they forgot to add tomato. They were very friendly and quick to rectify the problem.When it came back it had 2 slices of tomato on it and a boat load of ham. Waaay too much. Was really not a good sandwich.That experience was R90. Not too expensive but not worth it.

We visit the venue often. They offer a menu with great variety. Prices are very good compared to other sandton eateries. The quality of the food which comes out of the kitchen is exceptional. I have never been disappointed. Good value for money. A bakery filled with lots of delicious eats. The venue also does various snack platters both sweet and savoury as well as makes cakes for any occasion like birthdays and baptisms.

Review β„–83

Fournos is a weird place. They are competing against some of the finest in their class, with a multitude of similar places and brand names springing up like mushrooms. They do have some unique offerings though.Firstly, this branch has a lunch buffet to die for. Come hungry for you shall not be disappointed. And if that is not to your taste, the menu covers all the regular angles with my favourites clearly illustrated.However what stands out for me in Fournos is the bakery. I have never walked away from any Fournos branch without finding something really special in the bakery. Recommended.
